Th? rodd to Jordan, or rather to Charleston,
??ems to be a hard one for the'travcler. We j
told our readers, a few days ago, that though
ingress to the cit}* migh^ be easy, and even
egress, yet tho route to it was exceedingly un?
even to the sore-footed. We 3rc now told that
some score or two of the adventurous citizens
of Columbia, on their way to the delights of
Tanka? and negro society in Charleston, have'
been arrested by oar scouting parties and sent
